hi

I am expecting my first baby in November 2009 and starting to think about the options available - nursery for 7/8 month yr old or a shared childcare in the East Dulwich/Peckham Rye area. i would not be needed to start the childcare until June/July next year but I was wondering if anyone has taken part in a childcare share, and if there is anyone they would recommend in the area or maybe someone interested in taking part in a childcare share in June/July next year - seems quite a long way off but thought i should start thinking about it now!

Hi Hayley

I would be interested in at least a conversation about this. We are expecting our 1st baby as well at the end of October. I am going to take a year off so will not be going back to work until the following October but it may still be possible to work something out. I have just started to look into the cost and availabilty of childcare for when I do go back to work and it seems both difficult to arrange and very expensive for variable quality. Quite of few of the threads on nurseries in Dulwich mention that you need to put your babies names down at birth which is a bit scary. PM if you'd like to talk more or meet up at some stage in the future.

Hiya, We are expecting our first baby in January, I too have started to look into childcare and found the whole subject a minefiled not to mention being scared at how early you need to put names down despite not necessarily knowing when you will go back to work or whether it will be full or part time etc! Also choosing a nursery / childminder seems a nightmare!


I would imagine I would still be off in June / July next year (I hope) but would definitely be interested in any child care sharing ideas etc

Hi Hayley


I'm expecting my first baby in November too! I too am thinking of going back to work in June/July I am based near the Villa Nursery in Camberwell - they take kids after two but told me they can't take names til the baby is born! I am thinking of a childminder before then and would be interested in talking more. All the best.

      Do we still get 50+ outdoor community events per year? All the ones round here seem to have been cancelled, like the Christmas Cracker and the summer equivalent and the Small Business Saturday event etc.  Even on the Southwark Presents page the only events in East Dulwich in the foreseeable future are non-council events organised by other people. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/southwark-presents?event_price=All&localgov_event_locality[0]=239&date_min=&date_max=&search=&page=2

      @CPR DaveWe are talking about Lambeth Council, not Southwark, but I agree. It will be interesting to see if Lambeth fill part of that space with another hire out to a private events company.  As to the idea that what is gained financially from hiring out Peckham Rye Park is a good trade off, does not account for long-term damage to the park and the loss of access to the community for a month at least, in the best summer months where trees and shrubs are in full bloom and animals are birthing or rearing youngsters. For the Council to claim they are 'green' when they allow this is hypocrisy at its finest. @Northern Star Thanks, so they say. I'd love to see a list of these high quality free events and what they entail. I am not aware of any high quality free events in and around ED. Stand to be corrected though. Crikey, seems like they cannot even let Lordship Lane have Christmas lights this year.

      Regarding Gala fees: https://services.southwark.gov.uk/assets/attach/280615/GALA-2024-and-one-stage-shows-stakeholder-consultation-findings-report.pdf‘ ‘’The decision to host large/major-scale commercial (ticketed) events in Southwark was taken in 2017, deemed necessary in order to raise enough revenue to offset the running costs of the Events service, which supports the delivery of 50+ outdoor community events per year, and in order to continue to fund a range of high quality, free events across Southwark through the Cultural Celebrations Fund grants programme.’’
